Letters to the Editor: Impacts of Portlands Energy Centre must be considered by Ontario Energy Board – Beach Metro Community News The Portlands Energy Centre on Unwin Avenue in East Toronto is shown in this Beach Metro Community News file photo. The Ontario government has ignored

Great piece published in the Beach Metro about the insanity of hosting the city's largest polluter beside a new housing development. It's time to shutter the Portlands gas plant and replace it with wind and solar, storage and efficiency.

Quebec just approved a 186-MW wind farm — and host communities will receive guaranteed annual payments: shorturl.at/4DqjP

About $30M will be distributed locally over 30 years, including $17M to municipalities.

#Renewable energy & local economic benefits!

#Quebec will double the price data centres pay for power & it will still be cheaper than what they will have to pay for power from new nukes in #Ontario: shorturl.at/t5WKO

Off the Record: Climate Edition – Solar Punk in Africa How solar and batteries have taken hold, how African countries are using the tech to leapfrog others in the west and the amazing things they are achieving as a result.

Over 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa don’t have reliable power.

Communities aren’t waiting for centralized grids — they’re leapfrogging straight to decentralized solar + batteries. ☀️🔋

We’re told nuclear power isn’t intermittent.

But in #Ontario, reactors go offline for years during refurbishments — creating a deeper kind of intermittency that hits reliability & costs.

Trump sees big, ugly windmills. Canada sees opportunity Donald Trump has been trying to gut the U.S. wind power industry, but as CBC News international climate correspondent Susan Ormiston explains, America’s loss could be Canada’s gain.

As Trump tries to shut down the US renewables industry for his fossil fuel and nuclear buddies, Canada can fill the space, hosting offshore wind farms on the east coast and Great Lakes. Offshore wind power is half the price of new nuclear.

Canada has a natural advantage in #renewableenergy 🌬️🌊

Offshore wind + tidal power could add $500M+ annually to the economy — creating jobs & cutting pollution.

The energy transition isn’t theoretical — it’s already at our shores.
